shiftN Information

shiftN works around the globe with leading organisations in the private sector, public authorities and civil society to unravel problems that demand integrated thinking across multiple sectors and disciplines. We use our grounding as generalist systemic thinkers to facilitate conversations, build systems maps, and create future scenarios that visualise the structures, linkages and hidden causal connections between disparate realms. We thus focus on complex, messy issues at the intersection of multiple disciplines and multiple interests, such as: energy, security, the environment, food and water, healthcare, organisational learning and strategic innovation. We help governments and organisations develop evidence-based policies and strategies that leverage the latest scientific knowledge. We work with multistakeholder groups to achieve shared understanding and insight. Our goal is to help clients see beyond traditional silos to gain a system-level perspective, and from that perspective develop coherent solutions that will effectively address the complex challenges they face.
